The Gosnell trial
Authored by: bprice on Thursday, May 02 2013 @ 06:55 AM EDT
Is there something sinister going on here, or am I just paranoid?
Nothing sinister is going on here.
The Groklaw that I've loved for ten years wouldn't suppress the reporting of a trial, surely?
PJ has published what amounts to a charter for Groklaw: Mark agreed with it. That 'charter' shows that "[t]he Groklaw that [you]'ve loved for ten years" focuses on with the intersection of law, primarily civil and Imaginary Property, and computer technology, primarily software. Brief forays into allied areas are expected, but not totally irrelevant stuff. Some areas are explicitly forbidden: politics and religion, primarily. (PJ and Mark, obviously, have the right, but no duty, to allow exceptions, at their sole discretion.)

The Gosnell case has no overlap with Groklaw's defined scope. It's a criminal matter with no technology content or implications. Additionally, it is rife with religious and political distractions, as the indictment recognized.

No, the Gosnell affair is not being suppressed: it's just out of bounds and not that interesting to the Groklaw membership and leadership. It's adequately discussed in other, more appropriate, fora: Google can help you find them.
